Billy Bunting

was boards hacked, couldnt log on for days, then lost again.

Yes it was Billy. Well sort of.
It was a denial of service attack, whereby hacked (zombie) computers (1000's of them) were directed to Boards. This caused so much congestion that Boards became unavailable. There were other well known sites targeted also. There are some ongoing issues as Boards tries to prevent further attacks.

I have noticed very many duplicate posts on boards in the last week or so.
It has also been slow, so maybe people are impatiently hitting "submit reply" more than once.

Apparently using the "quick reply" function can cause the duplicates as well.
System is still glitching in places, but it's a lot better than it was a week ago.

Yes. Duplicate today, also an image not loading correctly.
